The Little Things

Hello,

Happy Thursday to you all!

I have a layout to share that was submitted at Sketches 4 All for their Scrap-a-Thon Challenge #3 (HOP3). Here's the sketch we had to use:

And this is what I created:

This is my step dad with Lynn and Andrew (and I'm in the smaller photo).

Supplies used:

Paper: My Mind's Eye

Honeycomb Stencil: Home Made

Mist: Distress Ink watered down

Ribbon

Chipboard Title

Folder Tabs Stencil

Glitter Gems: Home Made

Flowers/Leaves

Rosettes: Home Made

Heart Brad

Distressing

I created this honeycomb stencil from pp that I had. Thought it came out pretty good. I used spray tacky stuff on the back of it so it would stay in place when I misted. The mist is Distress Stain that I watered down.

The center rosette is what I made. The gems are my newest fad to make!! They're addicting because they're so fun to make!

I added a trio of leaves under the satin rosette. I cut a small circle from pp and distressed the edges before adding a heart brad as the center of the flower. The home made gems were added to each flower. Cream ribbon shoots out from under the flower grouping.
